it, but there is a hidden cinderella in everyones heartwe all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻).mary santiago has that secret dream, too. her story is featured in another cinderella story, a film set in a us high school.mary is shy but loves to dance. compared with other girls, she is invisible. however, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, joey parker, appears.joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are notkind, handsome and desirable. mary and joeys paths cross at a ball. they meet and fall in love with each other. but when mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her mp3 player, which becomes the only clue joey has to find the girl of his dreams. of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be dominique blatt and she takes in mary after her dancer mother dies. dominique treats mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure mary doesnt get into the top dance school. her two daughters are equally determined to stop joey falling for mary, even if that means embarrassing her.the story, though it mostly follows cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. there is also a lot less materialism in another cinderella story than in many similar movies. “the movie takes the cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic amber wilkinson. “yet the focus is firmly on following your

【2014高考英语湖北省荆州市一模试题】do people ever consider the possibility that, if theyre exposed to increased reports about a social problem, its the reporting that has increased rather than the problem? its increasingly clear that this is the case with school bullying（欺凌）：only news reports about it have increased, not the behavior itself. in fact, both bullying and fear of it are down among us middle school students the rate of students who reported fearing an attack or harm at school at all has dropped dramatically, from nearly 12% in 1995 to less than 4% in 2011. for black and hispanic students, its an even more encouraging shiftfrom more than 20% of both groups of students worried about being attacked at school to less than 5% in 2011. the decline in actual physical violence in schools is even more dramatic: it was down 74% between 1992 and 2010, according to the latest us department of justice data.what about cyberbullying? online harassment increased from 6% in 2000 to 9% in 2005 to 11% in 2010 between, and its interesting to note that it increased less between 2005 and 10 than in the first 5 years tracked. because social media is very much a reflection of school social life for young people, the peer aggression seen in social media is a lot like the peer aggression seen on school bathroom walls. so once it finds its “dead level,” it will probably decline in the same way verbal and written aggression have.besides education and crime prevention at the social level, medicine treatment and better access to mental healthcare also contribute to this downward trend in victimization of self and others.the rise of social media is what people dont typically think of as a positive force in society. but finkelhor, director of the crimes against children research center at the university of new hampshire says, “these technologies might have prevented crime and bullying by providing more ways of help, more forms of social supervision, and interesting activities that destroy forms of alienation(异化) that lead to crime”. 63. from the first paragraph we learn that _.a. school bullying has increased because of increased reportsb. school bullying has decreased because of increased reportsc. the number of reports on school bullying has increasedd. the number of reports on school bullying has decreased64. the underlined word is closest in meaning to _.a. crimeb. aggressionc. surfingd. communication 65. the cyberbullying is still increasing probably because _.a. it isnt as easy to control as the other school bullyingb. it hasnt been concerned by the governmentsc. it isnt part of school social lifed. it hasnt come to its top level66. finkelhor believes that social media have a _ influence on the falling trend of school bullying.a. positiveb. negativec. majord. slight【参考答案】6366、cbda 【2014高考英语湖北省荆州市一模试题】ethe environmental group 350.org has launched a new campaign called climate name change that proposes to revise to how hurricanes are named: call them after policymakers who say that humans are not to blame for global warming.this will save the katrinas and sandys of the world from the injustice of having their names attached to major disaster, the group says. and, as a bonus, it will produce some peculiar weather reports.“rick perry leaves trail of death,” appears under a broadcast titled “rick perry: the tragedy.”“michelle bachman is incredibly dangerous. if you value your life, please seek shelter from michelle bachman,” says an official while addressing a news conference.the campaign is unlikely to influence the world meteorological organization, which has since 1954 named atlantic tropical storms from an official list. but the campaigns goal seems less to actually name a hurricane after the speaker of the house, and more to call attention to an issue that this month has reached an alarming level of seriousness. the campaign comes just a month before the intergovernmental panel on climate change will release its most recent report on the state of global warming and a week after a draft（草稿）of the report was given away to reuters.in the draft, scientists concluded with near certainty about 95 percent sure that humans are to blame for the worldwide temperature hikes over the last few decades. that was a revision from the 2007 report, which put scientific certainty that human activities were driving global climate change at about 90 percent.and global warming, the report said, is not slowing down it, actually, is accelerating. that means that sea levels could balloon upward as much as three feet by the end of the century, if emissions(排放量) continue at their current pace.still, as the washington post climate notes, hurricanes are not the best sign of global warming. though current data suggests that global warming will in the future stir up terrible super storms, there is still not enough evidence to support the idea that climate change strengthens the recent hurricanes that have torn at the uss eastern coastline. 67. it can be inferred that_ is one of the policymakers who believe that humans are not to blame for global warming.a. katrinab. rick perryc. flossied. sandy68. 350.org has launched the campaign with the real purpose of _.a. changing the ways of naming hurricanesb. introducing the methods of naming hurricanesc. reminding policymakers to change their attitudesd. calling attention to the coming report on global warming69. the draft of the global warming report tells us that _.a. global warming is speeding up at the same rateb. it is human beings that have caused global warmingc. the new report has a more accurate data than the one in 2007d. human beings are not the only one to blame for global warming70. the writer of the passage seems to believe that_. a. policymakers should be blamed for the global warmingb. the campaign will cause the change of naming hurricanesc. global warming has no necessary relation to terrible hurricanesd. global warming will surely cause terrible super storms in the future【参考答案】67-70 bdbc【浙江省2014模拟冲刺试题】 单项填空（共20小题； 每小题0.5分，满分10分）从a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。1.- id like to have a picnic
